Chain of Hearts (Ceropegia Woodii)

One of the hardiest of all basket succulents, Hearts can be grown almost anywhere indoors or outdoors, sunny or dark. Long tendrils can grow 1m or more in a season and fill a pot very fast. Heart-shaped leaves appear along the entire length and cute 3cm vase-shaped, flowers can appear in summer from every leaf.

POSITION

They can grow indoors in low light situations, ideally they prefer shade between 505 - 80%. Plants will not flower without some sunlight.

TEMPERATURE

Can cope with very warm temperatures but prefers temps over 10C.

WATER

Allow to dry out in between waterings over the warmer months, and keep almost dry over winter.

NUTRIENTS

Feed during warmer months to encourage growth.

HUMIDITY

Doesn’t need humidity, good option for airconditioned and heated areas.

PROPAGATION

Ceropegia woodii is propagated by cuttings, by small tubers that are produced at the base of the leaves, and by seed.

PET FRIENDLINESS

Although it was pretty difficult to find information about the toxicity of this plant, most sources seem to indicate it should be harmless. Do keep in mind that those long, stringy stems are probably irresistible to cats! Hang/place your Ceropegia woodii far out of their reach to prevent trouble.
